No sugar. No Flour. No kidding.

Hi there. Nice to meet you!

I'm Lauren and I'm a 40+ year veteran of the weight wars. In March 2018 I turned 55, left my job, moved to a new town and was excited to be on what I like to call my 'Second Chapter' adventure.

​For years I imagined that when this time came I'd be in the best shape of my life; hiking, snowshoeing, camping, traveling the world. After nearly a year of doing very little on my dream list (and not feeling adventurous at all), I got clear that my physical condition (being overweight and out of shape) was holding me back. Bright Sister Rising is my journey to take back my health and my body and most of all, my dreams.
